Then a picture of a railroad terminal appeared on the scene. A dedication of a new engine built by the Doolittle Lomotive XfVorlcs was taking place. The main speaker was introduced by Governor Chet Vetterlein and was introducing the president of theyroad, Hoc Hewitt. The engine was to be used exclusively in the service of the Northern Paper Company. This company was organized in 1930 with Phil Wfheeler as president and Dave Decker, vice- president. Dave had been lured away from his first love, cash registers, by the efforts of Bernard Morse who realized his value as an executive. Jacob Rosemark was chief accountant for the firm and was aided by Gordon Thayer and Irving Pitman. ' Then I remembered that the air-liner on whichfI was to leave for Paris was scheduled to leave at three forty-live o'clock. Glancing at my watch I noticed that it was then Three thirty o'clock so I had to leave in a hurry. My run for the air-port reminded me of the many times I had dashed madly for my train as I left Boston. This time when I left the Hub city my last wish was that the entire class could again be assembled as a unit. But-Quien Sabe? Maybe somewhere in the Great Beyond we may. Fifty-seven.

To this they attribute their success. n l i Another turn of the knob and what did I see but a movie set and wavey haired despair of nmnf, a fnif damsel, Art Corcoran, who had become the country's leading Celluloid hero. Stev- ens and Cunningham were also in the movies, Steve as a little boy and Bill as a vrllam, lse I knew I gave the dial a twist and WHOOPIE! There they go! Who Seeing no one e. 3 y , ou ask? Why who would it be but Cliff Schneider, the world s present heavyweight champ, y ' 1: ' and MHC,-hge Gannett having their daily work-out. Well Hurb always wanted to wrestle a la Sonny. A few more twists and three men in s r p. , . , the screen. I was not surprised to see my old friends Al Barnes, Tiny Cleveland and Al Durant being held in duress vile. After the reputation they gained as the celebrated subway band- f its of Park Street fame, what could one expect. Wondering what brought about .their down all I turned the dials off and telephoned Red O'Brien and asked him. 'fRed had recently been appointed Boston Police Commissioner. He said that the class in Money and Banking was to blame. After their trip to the Federal Reserve Bank they had become obsessed with the idea of being bigger and better bandits and so naturally they had to hold up the bank. However, Bill McCormick, the guard, foiled them. When he saw them approaching the gate he asked, What is the difference between convertible and inconvertible money? While they were discussing the sub- ject Bill called De Celle, Messier and Art Skoglund, who were there and after a terrible struggle they subdued the band of bad boys by offering to buy them cream puffs. After telling me about the boys Red asked me if I had as yet seen Snapper Car's theatre. It seems that Snapper always a lover of the drama, had interested the famous promoters, Bob Kennedy and Al Peoples in building the largest theatre in New England. The project had been successful from the beginning and a stock company headed by Snapper was giving performances every day to packed houses. Other class matesvappearing with the company were Herb Danskin, Charlie Ellis, Bill King. Red suddenly broke off his conversation to talk with someone in the office. On renewing our little chat, he told me that he had just received word that Howie Davis had absconded from the New York Trust Company with all the available currency and was believed to bein Boston. That of course meant work for Red and he said that he would detail his best de- detective, Dave Miller, to the case. t i ed suits heavily guarded and chained appeared on l Back to the detecto-vision . I trotted and a couple of turns on the knobs brought another picture, this time a world famous jazz band,led by none other than that master of rhythm Bob SYlYeSt91'- Af the Plano was Mac McGowan pounding as though his life was in danger. The music was a number written by Guile Ford with the lyrics by Frank Goodale Another turn of the dials and a board room came into view. At the head of the table was our Old fflfnd, F.
